Opps should this be in software

The A600 supports exactly the same file systems as any other Amiga. The only limitation is the 68000 CPU as the best file system, SFS, required at least an 020 to work.

Using a patch from Aminet you can normally utilise the first 8GB of HDD space using the standard FFS. Each partition must be 2GB of less, but there is no limitation to the number you can have.

There are also other third party file systems you can try. The commercial PFS (Professional File System) is the other main one that will work. It was originally commercial and you had to buy it, but it has since been releases for free on Aminet under a BSD license. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_File_System

Hi All
An update got the HDD done (5x2gig ish partitions)) now using all of the HDD.got some wires to solder now its the one's that give HDD, floppy + power leds on keyboard 2 wires came off from the board. So if any one can please photo or tell me which wires go where please. I am also thinking about extending them to make taking off easier. Now i need more memory only got 2mb.
Does any one know if i believe it was ZetrO doing them 8mb boards if any are still available in the next 3 or 4 months time when saved the funds to get one.
Many Thanks

Sadly Zetr0 (Keith) had to abandon his 8MB A608 fast ram expansion. So the only options are to find a PCMCIA 16bit SRAM card of 1MB, 2MB or 4MB in size which will add some fast ram to the system. I use a 2MB one with my A600 giving me 2MB chip + 2MB fast and it runs most WHDLoad games fine. Or the other option is to spend more on an Individual Computer ACA A630 68030 accelerator for the A600, which has 32MB fast ram built in.

If only i had the money and they were in stock i would have the ACA accelerator
